I wish I realized sooner that dialogue doesn't have to be chronological. I thought of it as a normal conversation, or how a novel's dialogue is written. That isn't possible with two or more people that have their own characters. I actually almost got beaned when I first joined because of that. Plus it was back when you didn't get notifications about PM's and I apparently got like three warnings. Thankfully I'm a lot better at this whole thing now.

My two cents is that it's so jarring when random underlining/italicised/bolded/colored speech is used by a character in normal daily conversation. I can understand if a character is casting a spell or letting out some sort of demonic possession but if they just go ahead and say "Hey guys, what's kicking? Any normal mortal, human, and natural things to do for a mortal, human, and natural person like me to enjoy?"...

Especially odd if every character is of relatively equal rank and speaking normally then random fancy text out of nowhere. It's like someone joining a quiet conversation and having them yell into a megaphone in everyone's ear.

If you've got more than one character in an RP, it is good to use italics/bolding/colors to differentiate between the different characters. This way, its easier to tell what character is saying what, and it can also give an impression of how the character speaks.

Apologies to those I RP with. My phone has stopped working, so until I get a new one it will be quite difficult to post as frequently as I usually do. I'm extremely sorry but I hope to get a new one as soon as possible so I can get back to role play with you all properly.

On this, I generally use clear line breaks and make sure not to just say "he said" or "she said" when alternating characters. Or just do my best to make it clear who is saying or doing what.

"Sort of like this," Marcus says, looking to Jonathan. He points to the post, making sure his student comprehends. "It is a fairly simple process."

Jonathan raises his hand, wanting to ask a question. "Basically, just make it obvious that you're switching between characters?" he asks, tilting his head to the side.

Using different colors and stuff like that make it more obvious, and, like I said, can give an idea of what the character is like and all that."It's like this," said the female character. "Using a color like this gives the impression of a feminine, sweet character.""And a red like this can give the impression of perhaps an angry character," adds another character."It draws more attention to the dialogue-""And allows you to alternate between characters-""Without having to constantly say 'X said to Y' or stuff like that."
